I have a friend that works for Red Bull.

Normal Red Bull in Canada isn't allowed to be sold because it has taurine in it and taurine hasn't been approved by the health authorities in Canada. However, Red Bull is sold in Canada (just without the taurine in it), as well, you can buy the normal Red Bull in Canada even though it isn't legal plenty of places still sell it anyway. There are also at least 3 other energy drinks in Canada that are being sold and have taurine in them anyway.

So, yes, regular Red Bull isn't legal in Canada, however the law isn't enforced and you can find plenty of regular Red Bull being sold in Canada.

This is true of other countries as well that haven't approved taurine for sale.

On top of all this, my friend said Health Canada is nearing the stages of approval for taurine to be sold in drinks in Canada.
